Geoffrey Forrester, defending, said: “She is a young woman who has had a variety of difficulties in her life.

“She got the wrong date, simple as that.

“She is in breach of a suspended sentence order at the crown court and the crown court judge needs to be given the opportunity to deal with the case.”

Gerald Tierney, chairman of the magistrates, said: “We will refer this matter back to the crown court as you are subject to a crown court suspended sentence, which is something you must take seriously.”

She will be sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court at a date to be decided.
